AI can write code faster. But can your engineering process keep up?
Software development is entering a fundamental transition. AI coding assistants and autonomous development tools can generate code, tests, refactoring plans, documentation, and multi-file implementations at a speed that changes the economics of software production.
But faster code generation does not automatically produce better software.
Software Engineering in the AI Era examines what happens when implementation becomes dramatically easier—and why code review, testing, architecture, productivity measurement, and developer workflows must evolve with it.
Mira S. Devlin presents a practical framework for engineering teams navigating AI-assisted development. Rather than treating AI as either a replacement for developers or simply a faster autocomplete tool, this book examines AI as a change to the entire software engineering system.
You will explore how to:
- Rethink code review when AI can generate substantial implementations
- Build testing strategies that provide evidence rather than simply more test code
- Preserve architectural boundaries as implementation becomes cheaper
- Identify technical debt and emerging comprehension debt
- Evaluate AI-assisted productivity without confusing output with engineering value
- Design developer workflows around appropriate human checkpoints
- Improve onboarding and knowledge transfer in AI-assisted teams
- Understand the risks of generated assumptions, hidden dependencies, and plausible but incorrect implementations
- Adapt engineering practices without abandoning proven software engineering fundamentals
- Build workflows that balance development speed with correctness, maintainability, and accountability
The central idea is simple:
When code becomes cheaper to produce, engineering judgment becomes more valuable.
AI can generate an implementation. It cannot remove the engineering responsibility to determine whether that implementation is correct, appropriate, understandable, and safe to operate.
This book is for software engineers, senior developers, architects, engineering managers, technical leaders, and teams adopting AI-assisted development who want to increase their leverage without allowing development speed to outrun engineering understanding.
The future of software engineering is not simply about writing more code. It is about building better systems with greater leverage—and knowing what still requires human judgment.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
